Hello, future friend!

I'm Charlotte, currently 21 years old living in Brinckheim, Alsace, France. I also have a temporary home in Southampton where I study and that is where I spend most of the year.
I'll get this out of the way: I'm vegan, a good cook, into fitness and very friendly. Isn't that the recipe to happiness?
I've been called a hippie many times because I am very passionate about the environment, if you are too then we have a lot to talk about!
I love travelling alone because it makes me more able to approach strangers and connect with people than with a friends group. I look forward to meeting new people with similar and different points of view on life, I love self-development.

I play the guitar (self-taught so medium-level) and I enjoy writing songs for fun.
I speak French and English fluently and I have a basic-intermediate level of German. I also have a driving license and have access to a car and I also have bikes. I would love to show you around my home region as well as surrounding countries if you so wish.
I like seeing new places, especially in touch with nature.
I've so far been to England (South, East, Midlands), Wales (Cardiff), Germany (Berlin, Hamburg, Freiburg, Munich, Weil-Am-Rhein), Switzerland (Basel, Zurich), France (Paris, Alsace, Pyrénées, Alpes), Corsica (Ajaccio), Italy (South), Spain (Andalucia), Portugal (Porto, Pedrogaro Grande), Netherlands (Amsterdam, Rotterdam) and Jamaica (Montego Bay, Kingston, Negril).
This summer, my parents are out of the house for some weeks and it would be cool to have company during my house-sitting time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wanting to connect with people on a deeper level than small talk.
I have a spacious house during the summer on a nice countryside.
I also wish to travel and explore countries myself, looking for cheap accommodation to reserve money for other activities! :)
